Playlist

While a book is created and enjoyed through written text, music can have a powerful interaction with it. Songs can inspire the writer, change a mood, capture a moment, crystalize a character, or deepen the experience of the read. There is science behind the way music affects your brain, but it is something any writer and reader instinctually knows.

Below are some of the various songs that did so for us, as we built the world of Burn-in. If you enjoy them, please check out more by these great artists.

Page 121: Muse | “Madness”I, I can’t get these memories out of my mindAnd some kind of madness has started to evolveI, I tried so hard to let you goBut some kind of madness is swallowing me whole, yeah

Page 126: Justin Timberlake | “Can’t Stop the Feeling”And under the lights when everything goesNowhere to hide when I’m gettin’ you closeWhen we move, well, you already knowSo just imagine, just imagine, just imagine

Page 374: Johnny Cash | “You Are My Sunshine” (Cover)You are my sunshine, my only sunshineYou make me happy when skies are greyYou’ll never know, dear, how much I love youPlease don’t take my sunshine away

Page 382: Florence and the Machine | “Shake it Off”I tried to dance with the devil on your backAnd given half the chance would I take any of it backIt’s a final mess but it’s left me so emptyIt’s always darkest before the dawn
